Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

Conditions for submission: plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, and preprint disclosure.

Jurnal Fisika Terapan dan Inovasi Indonesia upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and only considers original and unpublished scholarly work. All submitted manuscripts are screened using Turnitin to assess textual similarity. However, the similarity score is only a screening tool; the final determination of plagiarism, improper quotation, duplicate publication, or self-plagiarism remains a matter of editorial judgment.

Plagiarism includes the use of another person's words, ideas, equations, data, tables, images, graphs, experimental results, computational outputs, models, diagrams, technical designs, or findings without proper acknowledgment. Self-plagiarism or text recycling refers to the substantial reuse of one's own previously published material without proper citation, disclosure, or justification. Both are considered serious violations of publication ethics.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all quotations, paraphrases, borrowed concepts, equations, theoretical models, experimental methods, datasets, figures, simulations, software outputs, and reproduced material are clearly cited and properly referenced. Where necessary, authors must also obtain permission for reused copyrighted or proprietary material.

A low similarity score does not automatically mean the manuscript is free from plagiarism, and a high similarity score does not automatically prove misconduct. Editors assess the nature, location, source, and significance of the matching material before making a decision.

Duplicate or redundant publication occurs when an author submits or publishes substantially the same work in more than one venue without proper disclosure, cross-referencing, or justification. This includes substantial overlap in title, research objectives, theoretical framework, experimental design, datasets, calculations, simulations, measurements, analysis, discussion, or conclusions.

Manuscripts that are under review in another journal, already formally published, or submitted simultaneously to more than one outlet will not be considered. If any part of the manuscript has appeared previously in another form, including conference proceedings, institutional repositories, working papers, technical reports, theses or dissertations, research project reports, or another language version, authors must disclose this clearly at the time of submission.

The journal may consider manuscripts previously posted as preprints, provided that the preprint has not undergone formal journal publication and that the preprint status is fully disclosed during submission.

Authors must provide the preprint server name and URL or DOI, and must ensure that the preprint version does not conflict with copyright, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality obligations, institutional requirements, patent considerations, or third-party restrictions. Once the article is published in the journal, authors are encouraged to update the preprint record with a link to the final published version.

Editorial Follow-Up and Author Responsibilities

• All manuscripts may be checked through Turnitin before peer review and, where necessary, after revision.
• The Editorial Board may provide or request a similarity report during the editorial process.
• Authors must revise problematic sections carefully, especially where quotation, paraphrasing, citation, source acknowledgment, or reuse of previously published material is insufficient.
• Authors must clearly cite sources for borrowed physical theories, equations, mathematical derivations, models, experimental methods, calibration procedures, algorithms, datasets, simulations, figures, diagrams, software, and technical standards where applicable.
• Previously published experimental setups, instrument designs, laboratory procedures, or computational methods must be properly cited even when adapted by the same authors.
• Reused figures, photographs, schematics, graphs, or technical drawings must comply with applicable copyright and permission requirements.
• Failure to address similarity concerns adequately may result in rejection or discontinuation of the review process.
• If plagiarism is identified after publication, the journal will take appropriate action according to its ethics, correction, and retraction policies.
